Six Nations Live Online

February 4, 2018 is the big day for sports and rugby lovers who waited in anticipation for the announcement of the R.B.S Six Nations Live Online 2018.

I certainly do not want to miss a single one of the fifteen matches. Since it finishes on 18 March it means we only have a short few weeks to sit back and enjoy our favorites on the field.

As the 124th edition of the six Nations, I was shocked when someone asked me the other day if Spain, Portugal and South Africa are playing too.

How could they not know that it is six countries, six teams, and held at six venues? The countries we are going to see as always are Ireland, Italy, Wales, France, Scotland, and England. What I want to share with you however, is more on rugby six nations live stream options.

History – RBS Six Nations Rugby

The R.B.S (Royal-Bank of Scotland) Six Nations dating back to 1882, is the world’s oldest rugby championship. The teams participating originally were only from United Kingdom, which were Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England. The next country to join was France during 1910, and in 2000, Italy joined too. This annually played rugby match is watched by sport lovers world-wide.

This year we are all waiting in anticipation to see whether England will be victorious again. Since they are the 2016 and 2017 trophy winners, they and the world too, are hoping to see a hattrick. Should they be victorious, it would be the first time since the first six nations that someone wins it three times consecutively.

The games are all played over the weekends, Saturdays and Sundays, except for the Friday night game in Marseille when Italy and France play in the third round.

An interesting fact I would like to mention is that the team who won the first Grand Slam was back in 1908 and the team, Wales. The team with the most Grand Slams is England who did it 13 times. England also remains the country with the most tournament wins.

I suspect that France will walk away as winner as previously out of the 40 matches played against each other, France won 37 times. Or we may just expect a pleasant surprise by Italy.
